“…Concerning the social dimension, the institute objectives are to measure the employee's involvement in the organization in terms of working conditions, career development, and internal communication. Institutes are trying to satisfy internal stakeholders by leading their human resources managers to implement innovative practices (Altmann & Ebersberger, 2013). However, even if there is clear progress in terms of social innovations and internal USR practices, there exists a gap between these practices and organizational actions.…”

The quality of life at work increases employees’ abilities to practice gained talents to face work challenges. Efficient internal USR practices supporting working conditions, developing new skills, opportunities for advancement, and the opportunity for work-life balance contribute to increasing the quality of work-life QWL. Accordingly, universities are trying to maintain their employees’ quality work-life by leading their human resources managers to implement internal USR practices. Hence, this study aims to examine the relationship between the Internal University Social Responsibility Practices USR as independent variables and the Quality of Work Life (QWL) of Al Jinan university staff as a dependent variable. The results indicate that the work-life balance, training and education, working conditions, human rights, workplace diversity, and job enrichment have a positive significant impact on the quality of work-life; hence to maintain a good quality of work-life for the workforce, universities should implement efficient USR practices internally.

“…However, the knowledge-based economy has been developing along with the massification of education, globalization and digitalization (Charle & Verger, 2012). These major trends make universities face dilemmas and make them find it often difficult to prioritize between competing on the global and national education markets, competing for research funding, and having a regional impact (Gibb, Haskins, & Robertson, 2013). The characteristics of the entrepreneurial university, presented later on, make it complex but more flexible and more adaptable to change, thanks to, for example, its diversified funding base and its openness towards industry and society (Clark, 1998).…”

Doctoral education in the entrepreneurial university : enhanced employability?

This dissertation explores the issue of employability of doctorate holders through the theoretical lens of the model of the entrepreneurial university. It starts from the observation that there is a bottleneck in the academic labour market in many countries, making it increasingly difficult for recent doctoral graduates to engage in an academic career. Traditionally, doctoral education was designed for a career in academia; but the employment situations of doctorate holders call for more relevance of doctoral education and doctoral-level skills on the non-academic labour market. The main argument of this dissertation is that the openness and the interactions of the entrepreneurial university with its environment, in particular its region, makes it a relevant model to enhance the employability of doctorate holders outside academia. The thesis is based on five publications written either solely by the author or in collaboration with other scholars, mostly case studies compiling both qualitative and quantitative data and approaches. Three main findings can be highlighted from the research: (i) the entrepreneurial university increases its socioeconomic impact by building an alignment with regional stakeholders over the years and thanks to key individuals, by retaining human and social capital within itself and by broadening the scope of its activities and stakeholders; (ii) doctorate holders' employability is key in the entrepreneurial university's regional socioeconomic impact, as they are increasingly employed outside academia but are likely to experience job mismatches in this situation, mainly related to education and skills; (iii) regional stakeholders can take different types of initiatives to enhance the employability of doctorate holders, and increase the entrepreneurial university's socioeconomic impact: more specifically, doctorate holders and non-academic employers can get to know each other better; intermediaries such as Science Parks can support them through the creation of meeting places. The dissertation contributes to the literature on the entrepreneurial university by focusing on the population of doctoral students and doctorate holders, at the crossroads of its three missions (education, research and 'third mission'). It also suggests the following main recommendations: to universities, beyond adapting the content of doctoral education to the needs of non-academic employers, put emphasis on marketing it to them, so that they understand what it is worth; to doctorate holders, expand their knowledge of career possibilities, and behave entrepreneurially by initiating activities to complement what could be missing in their education; to non-academic employers, collaborate with universities and communicate their needs to them to influence the design of curricula.
